Alley cropping of maize with calliandra and leucaena in the subhumid highlands of Kenya: Part 2. Biomass decomposition, N mineralization, and N uptake by maize
Mugendi, DN; Nair, PKR; Mugwe, JN; O'Neill, MK; Swift, MJ; Woomer, P (University of Nairobi, 1999-06)A major challenge in developing agroforestry approaches that utilize tree-leaf biomass for provision of N to crops is to ensure synchrony between the N released from decomposing prunings and N demand by crops. A study was ... -
Alley cropping of maize with calliandra and leucaena in the subhumid highlands of Kenya: Part 2. Soil-fertility changes and maize yield
Mugendi, DN; Nair, PKR; Mugwe, JN; O'Neill, MK; Woomer, P (University of Nairobi, 1999-06)Although N-rich leaf biomass of multipurpose trees is known to be a good source of N to crops, integrating such trees into crop production systems is a major challenge in the development of viable agroforestry systems.
